DiffUI

by @jjcm

A diffusion-based UI design tool I left Figma to build. My core hypothesis is that LLMs are trained to write consistent code (good for a billing function), but they also express design through code, resulting in consistent design as well. Diffusion models are just now good enough to do UI, and are trained on a much wider set of visual data, resulting in more unique outputs. LLMs are now good enough to convert images to code very effectively, so the end result is better even though you have to do a conversion. Here's a page detailing the standard flow: https://diffui.ai/blog/show-hn And here are a couple sample sites built with it: https://html.non.io/tarot https://html.non.io/neonRamen (note - not optimized for mobile) And here are a couple files showing the designs (requires sign in): https://diffui.ai/app/canvas/9e03f5c2-91c5-4f96-8f08-b8086e5... https://diffui.ai/app/canvas/95934269-5dc8-4145-a33a-d3a4dc2... Happy to answer any q's!
